PDF's generated by open-source librari...
Although Github provides a nice home for Java open source projects, there are some things that are still missing compared to more mature open source hosting places. I have so far figured out that Sonatype offers Maven repository access for open source projects, which solves one issue; and there are many solutions for user/dev mailing lis...
